Chapter 808 Zhu Feng fell into the arms of a gentle woman?
Looking closely, it was none other than the rat-like man named Ah Hei.
There were a few people following behind him, and I guess they were all killers from Yihuatang.
It seems that they have also escaped from the city.
Ashig immediately lifted the curtain and asked, "How is it?"
Ah Hei rode his horse to the window, leaned over and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything has been settled. They fought for a while at the west gate, and then withdrew after the city guards had gathered."
"very good."
"Your Highness, where are we going next?"
Ashig said, "Keep going."
Ah Hei said, "Your Highness, aren't we joining up with those troops?"
"No."
"But they—"
"This king has long anticipated that not everything will go smoothly in the city, so I have made preparations in advance."
"What preparations?"
"That group of people will continue to lead the Yan Nation's troops westward, while we will head eastward."
"Go east?"
"There will be a boat waiting for us on the canal."
Nan Yan understood when she heard it.
They were going to abandon their road activities and take a boat instead.
Ah Hei's shrewd, mouse-like eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "Your Highness, this plan is indeed wise."
Ashige waved his hand and said, "This plan was not thought up by me."
"That's—"
“It’s Mandu.”
"Lord Mandu?"
Everyone seemed stunned for a moment.
When Nan Yan heard the name Mandu, she hesitated for a moment before she remembered that he was the minister she met in the Kingdom of Neng.
I vaguely remember that Monk once said that he almost became Princess Tana's consort.
That is to say——
Nan Yan's brows unconsciously knitted together, while on the other side, Axige sneered: "The Imperial Master thinks that if he doesn't agree to this, then I will have no other options. I can still bring the things and people out of Hecheng."
As he spoke, he glanced at Nan Yan again and said, "You'd better behave yourself."
“…”
"Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that I can bring you back to the Kingdom of Dian in one piece."
Nan Yan frowned again.
She immediately understood the hidden meaning of the words and asked, "Who are you going to hand me over to?"
“…”
Ashiger also shut up immediately.
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Yes, that Lord Mandu? Was it him who asked you to kidnap me?"
Seeing that she had guessed it, Ashige sneered and said, "He is indeed foolish. After all these years, he still can't forget Princess Tana. He even treats her daughter differently."
“…”
Nan Yan couldn't help but gasp.
It turned out that this time, Ashiger was not just holding himself hostage.
It's no wonder. If they really wanted to take someone hostage, Concubine Ning and Concubine Kang would both be good candidates. But I am a pregnant woman with limited mobility, so I am not the best candidate as a hostage.
Even this time, they were not allowed to ride horses when leaving the city, but could only take a carriage.
It turned out that Mandu was behind the scenes.
Is he so infatuated with Princess Tana that he even wants to keep her daughter by his side?
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
And Ashige had already waved to the people outside and said, "Get on the road immediately and get to the canal as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Everyone responded, and immediately the carriage drove forward, and those people followed the carriage on horseback.
|
Nan Yan had walked this road before.
More than half a year ago, Arslan took her north along the canal to the junction with the Yellow River, then got ashore and took a carriage west to Hecheng.
I didn't expect that now, this road has to be walked backwards.
At the beginning, Nan Yan didn't feel anything, but after staying in the carriage for a whole day, she began to feel uncomfortable.
After all, she is a pregnant woman.
This carriage was not as comfortable as the one Zhu Feng had prepared for her in the past. It was bumpy all the way, and the pregnancy reactions that she had not experienced before all came out at this time.
But, Ashige and the others are not the kind of people who can take care of pregnant women.
So Nan Yan suffered a lot along the way.
Because of morning sickness, she could hardly eat anything, and she couldn't sleep well in the bumpy carriage. At the end of the day, she looked haggard.
That night, they traveled all night again.
Ashige wanted to reach the canal as quickly as possible. Besides, this place was within the territory of Yan State after all. Even if Zhu Feng and the others were lured away by the troops he arranged, there was no guarantee that they would not encounter other forces of Yan State on the way.
So, his stop was very short.
Nan Yan vomited for a while at night, and finally she leaned against the carriage board, closed her eyes and took a light nap. Suddenly, she felt the carriage shake and woke up again.
What's wrong?
Ashiger, who was sitting opposite her, also opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and asked, "Hmm?"
Ah Hei said from outside: "Your Highness, the dock is just ahead."
"oh?"
Ashiger stuck his head out and took a look.
Nan Yan also took the opportunity when he lifted the curtain to look outside. At this time, the sky was about to brighten, and the outlines of some high mountains appeared faintly on the horizon ahead, standing in the faint morning light.
And she had already heard Jiang Liu's voice.
Back to the canal.
However, as their carriage continued to move forward, they found that there was a thick fog on the river. The closer they got, the thicker the fog became. When they walked onto the dock, they could hardly see anything ten steps away.
What a thick fog!
And in the fog, it seemed that their carriage was the only one, and the wheels made a very monotonous sound as they moved on the cobblestone road. In such a quiet environment, for some reason, it seemed a little surprising.
Ashiger lifted the curtain and looked outside. Nan Yan could even see milky white mist rising and pouring into the window.
"Why is there such thick fog?"
Ashig murmured.
As he spoke, he asked Ah Hei outside, "Did you see our boat?"
"It seems to be waiting on the shore. Your Highness, you can get off now."
"Um."
Ashige nodded, then turned back to look at Nan Yan: "Get out of the car!"
Nan Yan obediently let him hold one of her arms and got off the carriage. Looking up, she found that there was really no one on the entire dock except for their group of people. The steaming mist seemed to have completely enveloped the dock.
It's more like isolating this place from other places.
And she saw the big ship parked on the shore at a glance.
I don’t know if it was because he sensed something, or because he was a natural military commander, but Ashige kept holding onto one of Nanyan’s arms.
He frowned and looked around.
He murmured, "Something's wrong."
